mickey, this is one of the videos I've seen that has me wondering...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVDSXaIGEJs
That video shows the rider hitting the 180 kph (112 mph) top speed limiter in 6th, but it ran right up to that, but you couldn't see what it was doing in 4th or 5th because he short shifted at 3500 rpms like a lot of us do on this bike to take advantage of the torque curve. Actually if you wanted to feel the most pull, I would recommend shifting at the peak of the torque curve around 5000-5200 rpms.
